9403.20.00 - Other metal furniture

HTS code 9403.20.00 encompasses "Other metal furniture" not specifically classified elsewhere within the broader metal furniture categories. This classification is intended for metal furniture that does not fall under headings such as office furniture (9403.10.00) or other specialized categories. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the item is primarily constructed of metal and serves a furniture function, but lacks the specific intended use or material composition that would place it in a more precise sibling category.

Distinguishing 9403.20.00 from its siblings requires careful consideration of purpose and material. For instance, while 9403.10.00 is strictly for metal furniture designed for office environments, 9403.20.00 would cover metal furniture for other settings, such as domestic use, industrial applications, or public spaces, provided it is not otherwise specified. It is crucial to differentiate this code from other metal furniture classifications that might exist at higher or lower levels of detail within Chapter 94.

The subcategories under 9403.20.00, namely "Household" and "Other," further refine the classification based on the intended end-use of the metal furniture. The "Household" subdivision would include metal furniture commonly found and used in residential settings, such as metal beds, cabinets, or tables for living areas. The "Other" subdivision would capture metal furniture that does not fit the household designation, encompassing items for commercial, industrial, or other non-residential purposes, thereby ensuring a comprehensive and accurate classification of the diverse range of metal furniture.
